But for anyone who can handle a few tears, I would most definitely recommend it.Ways to Live Forever is a 2008 children's novel by Sally Nicholls, first published in 2008. Could you even imagine? The story was so moving and sad, yet so completely amazing, that I am honestly torn on my feelings about it. Finishing everything you want to do, in such a short time, while you wait for the leukemia to take over completely. Knowing you were going to die soon, and yet still managing to stay so strong. Sam has one life, but he’s making his own “Ways To Live Forever”. Knowing that he’s right, they attempt to mark the things off on his list one by one. Felix on the other hand, is very optimistic, believing not only that they can finish it, but that they should. Their teacher asks them to write something, and so Sam writes a list of things he’d like to do, never imagining he’d ever get the chance to do them. Since Sam is too sick to go to school any longer, a teacher comes to his house to teach him and Felix his thirteen-year-old friend who suffers from cancer. They gave him around a year to live, and so began his story.
The doctors had managed to decimate the illness twice, but when it came back for the third time, there was nothing they could do. Sam McQueen is just a normal eleven-year-old boy, but he’s dying, of leukemia.
